Christopher Hatton Turnor (23 November 1873 – 19 August 1940) was an English author, architect, and social reformer. He is known for having designed the Watts Gallery, Surrey and the Stoneham War Shrine, Hampshire.

Turnor was educated at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester and at Christ Church, Oxford. He initially trained as an architect under Edwin Lutyens and Robert Weir Schultz. In addition to his architectural work, Turnor became a campaigner for agricultural reform. He co-founded the Central Landowners' Association.

In August 1907 he was married to Sally Carpenter, the only daughter of Admiral Walter Carpenter in Little Gaddesden Church, Herts. They had no issue.
